Dehydrated Leek Powder from China
Dehydrated leek powder is made by drying leeks and grinding them into a fine powder, used for seasoning stocks, sauces, or as a thickener in recipes. It qualifies for HTS 0712.90.85.30 as dried leeks in powder form, provided no further preparation like salting or flavor enhancement occurs. This keeps it within the scope of simply dried vegetables not further prepared.

Import Tips
• Ensure particle size analysis confirms it's powder from dried leeks only, without binders; obtain FDA prior notice for food imports; watch for reclassification if moisture levels suggest it's not fully dried
